THE Olympic flame is on its way to France from Greece by sea aboard the Bellem, a historic French three-masted ship first launched in 1896, reports Rotterdam's Offshore Energy.
For this occasion, the containership will unveil the Paris 2024 logo on its containers in Fos-sur-Mer starting May 5.
Built in September 2022 under the French first register flag and homeported in Marseille Fos, the CMA CGM Greenland is one of five 15,000-TEU vessels deployed between Asia and the Mediterranean.
Measuring 366 metres in length and 51 metres in width, the CMA CGM Greenland and its sister ships - CMA CGM Patagonia, CMA CGM Kimberley, CMA CGM Everglade, and CMA CGM Galapagos - are named after sensitive natural regions.
As the official logistics partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, CMA CGM and its subsidiary CEVA Logistics are handling the maritime transport of the equipment from the Port of Piraeus in Greece.
Upon arrival in Le Havre, the equipment will be stored in the Paris region before being gradually transported to Corsica, French Guiana, Reunion, Tahiti, Guadeloupe and Martinique.
